5.0 out of 5 stars Basic Piano Toolkit Essential, November 10, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Alfred's Basic Piano Library Flash Cards Levels 1A-1B (Cards)
These flashcards are the most basic element of my toolkit as a piano teacher. No matter which lesson book my students are using, these cards supplement their learning and increase their music literacy. By recognizing the written notes and immediately knowing the corresponding key, their ability to read a new piece of music is enhanced, in the same way that we learn to read and sound out our letters before learning to read words. Over time, you no longer stop to sound out each word but can simply read it off the page. The same process occurs with note-reading and soon the process of figuring out which note it is, figuring out which key goes with it, then playing becomes as fluent as reading letters off a page.
I recommend the John W. Schaum series of piano method books, but when a student has had prior lessons with a different teacher, we just continue in whichever books they've already purchased. These cards allow us to fill in any gaps in their learning in these situations.
There is a measurable increase in fluency and speed of reading when these cards are used as part of the basic regimen both in lessons and during their at-home practice time.
